More "Fear The Walking Dead"

Sneak Peek a new teaser from "The Walking Dead" prequel, "Fear The Walking Dead" debuting August 23, 2015 on AMC, showing the frightening scenario of an LA power grid failure during the 'zombie' apocalypse :

"Ultimately, it’s a family drama", said series showruner Dave Erickson.

"...we're starting a little earlier in the apocalypse. And what that allowed us to do in the pilot and season 1 is establish our core family, establish the problems and the conflicts that they have, and really let that be the initial world that we live in.

"And we layer in the onset of the apocalypse, we layer in our first walkers, but it’s really an effort to exacerbate the problems that already exist with Kim Dickens' character and Cliff Curtis' character and their sort of dysfunctional blended family.

"It’s really filtering the apocalypse through that.

"...if you think about the way a zombie outbreak would happen, it would happen very organically. It would be happening for a while behind the scenes. In pockets of civilization there would be news stories that didn’t really make sense and didn’t seem connected. And that’s kind of where we pick things up.

"There are a lot of things on the news, there’s a lot of chatter and paranoia and concern. And yet the vast majority of the population is ignoring these things and talking about their daily lives, and that’s kind of where we pick things up. And things ramp up very quickly from there."
